teaspoonful of salt, a dash or two of cinnamon. Stir

ful of ice-cold milk. Take two apples✪ Fruit Pancakes, peel them and

a good advantage.

BEVERAGES.
The habit of tea and coffee drinking has fastened itself
upon the American people to such an extent that freedom
therefrom can be attained only by persistent effort and
added mental force. The present fast age requires a
careful husbanding of nervous energy to achieve success,
and stimulating beverages offer nothing but a stumbling
block to higher aims and aspirations. The evil effects of
tea and coffee are too well known to be dwelt upon at
length ; suffice it to say that habitual drinkers will find
a decided reHef from their stomach and nervous troubles
if cereal coffees and other beverages are used as substi-
tutes. Statistics show that America is the heaviest
coffee-drinking nation.
With a little study and experiments most delicious and
appetizing drinks may be prepared that will prove of
benefit to the suffering and aid the mentally inclined in
his search of knowledge by virtue of a more active mind.
CHINESE OR JAPANESE TEA.
All teas, whether Japanese, Chinese or Russian, so
called, have more or less merit for medicinal purposes,
but are absolutely injurious when combined with foods
or meals. The only proper way of preparing teas is to
pour a small quantity of hot water upon the tea leaves
and allow them to develop, the time varying, in accord-
ance to the kind and age of the tea, from three to fifteen
minutes. As soon as the leaves are developed, pour all the
boiling water desired into the pot and repour into another
pot, throwing away the dregs. If you put a piece of
licorice-root or sandelwood into the teapot while tea is
developing you will run no risk as to the thein which is
the poisonous principle contained in all teas.
Teas are ^o be used in cases of fevers, colds and lung
25
troubles only, and then in moderate quantities and mild.
Used without sugar and cream the tea will prove of great
value, particularly on cold winter nights, and also in the
summer, as a tonic whenever feeling intestinal contrac-
tions due to eating unripe fruits and vegetables. A good
and healthful way to use tea is to grind it fine and pre-
pare it a la drip thru a cheesecloth as you would prepare
coffee. Otherwise do not use teas, lest they will go back
on you in cases of emergency.
